The University recognises that many staff will have caring responsibilities for adults at some stage in their lives. The right to request flexible working may allow them to better balance work with their caring responsibilities.
The adult for whom the member of staff cares must be 18 or over and a
To be eligible for flexible working for caring reasons, staff must have been continuously employed by the University for 26 weeks.
To apply for consideration for flexible working for this purpose you should refer to the Job Share/Part-time/Flexible Working Guidance Notes and Procedure and complete and submit the application form to your line manager. The application form should be accompanied by a letter from your GP confirming the details of your caring responsibilities.
It should be noted that, whilst the University will seriously consider each application and, where possible, support the member of staff by agreeing to the request, the member of staff does not have a right to work flexibly and the University, therefore, reserves its position to decline a request if it is not operationally possible, based on any of the reasons given under the Job Share/Part-time/Flexible Working section of this booklet.
If the request is declined the member of staff is entitled to appeal in accordance with section 13 of the Work/Life Balance Policy booklet.
